Four female U.S. military veterans are running for Congress
EXCERPT
Four female veterans are making history by running for Congress this
year. While women make up more than 50% of the population, they are
severely underrepresented in public office. It’s about time that
started changing.
Women bring a different perspective to political office, and they tend
to focus on solving problems. Research has also shown that “women tend
to include diverse viewpoints in decision making, have a broader
conception of public policy, and are also more likely to work through
differences to form coalitions, complete objectives, and bring
disenfranchised communities to the table.”
